On May 10, Beijing time, according to Shams, a league source said that the Suns planned to hire Mike Budenholze, the former Bucks champion coach, as the head coach. It is expected that the annual salary will be close to eight figures. The coach from Holbrooke, Arizona will be responsible for optimizing the three giant systems of Devon Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Bill.

Shams also said that David Fitzdale, the former chief teaching assistant, is expected to transfer to the management position. It was reported earlier that Budenholze would form his own coaching team to join the Suns and lead the three giants to fight for the championship.

Earlier today, the Suns officially fired coach Vogel. This season, the Suns, which ranked third in the league in terms of total expenditure, only won 49 games in the regular season, and suffered a sweep by the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs.

Now 54 years old, Budenholze has served as the head coach of the Hawks and Bucks successively. He has coached the Hawks for five seasons and then the Bucks for five seasons. Budenholze was elected the best manager of the year for the first time in 2014-15 season, and won the award again in 2018-19 season. In the 2020-21 season, Busai led the Bucks to win the championship. He has coached 801 regular season games, 484 wins and 317 losses, with a victory rate of 60.4%.
